Introduction to Bespin - Mozilla's Web Based Code Editor - Joe Walker (Mozilla)
Bespin is a Mozilla Labs Experiment to build a code editor in a web browser that Open Web and Open Source developers could love. We asked ourselves what the editor of our dreams would look like, and set out to build that editor using the latest HTML 5 features like canvas, web-workers, and web-sockets. When you have the luxury to take off the shackles of old browsers, it is amazing what the engines provide.
After a few months of development we have working collaboration and version control integration. Find out what we've learnt, what we're working on next and see what features you would love to see (and maybe contribute? ;) with Bespin. This being Mozilla, everything is open source including a reusable editor component that you could embed and use.
